Bookings for the first half of next year with Carnival Corporation & plc group brands are within historical ranges and less than 38% of customers affected by schedule changes and cruise cancellations have opted to ask for a refund, President and CEO Arnold Donald said.
“It's also encouraging to note that the majority of guests affected by our schedule changes want to sail with us at a later date, with fewer than 38% requesting refunds to date,” he pointed out.
“Our booking trends for the first half of 2021, which remain within historical ranges, demonstrate the resilience of our brands and the strength of our loyal recurring customer base, of which 66% are repeat cruisers. In addition, we plan to stagger fleet reentry to optimize demand and operating performance over time," he said in a statement.
